Saturday, 18th October

Today, it really was bad weather. Rained off and on all day. The forecast was better for France, and we did consider going to Targassonne, but it’s a couple of hours drive, and Richard and Judith were far too hungover to do anything like that. I worked again, all day, conference preparation, whilst Judith took Richard out to the Dali castle at Pubol and to the beach at Calella de Parafugell to walk off their hangovers.
Good job we didn’t go to Targassonne. Udo went there, but no good.
Sunday Richard leaves, and the weather is expected to improve.
Oh, and the bad news about today was the end of 3Jam, the text messaging service Judith set up for pilots in the Mynd area. 3Jam have started charging, so it would cost around £5 each time someone sent a text message to the group. A real shame, a lot of pilots found it very useful, and got flights they otherwise would have missed.

Hmmm, It seems Spain has had some unusually bad weather recently …. I think we were very lucky with our 2 weeks in Algo (only 4 days lost to the weather).
And have you seen what’s heading your way mid-week? Ugh! I’m sure normality will be resumed soon though, the Autumn gales are starting in the UK now …

Not that bad up here. Maybe 3 or 4 days when it really wasn’t flyable. But sometimes we went to the wrong site, e.g. Berga, when we should have stayed at home, where it was really good. And we could have flown a lot more days, but sometimes we had to work, sometimes we went to the beach….
Today – in spite of a lousy forecast – was actually really good flying, warm and sunny. Will be in the blog later.
There might be a couple of poor days mid week. But we are working then anyway.
